Late posting….. Seniors at the Union Springs Nutrition Site had a blast at their Luau Party, hosted by We Do Care, LLC, where they gained valuable insights on summer safety and heat protection. They also enjoyed a delicious lunch and refreshing beverages to rejuvenate and beat the heat. It's a true joy to serve the community and bring people together.
Remember to stay safe and protected during the summer months with these 7 expert tips:
>> Stay hydrated!!! Drink plenty of water at least 8 cups or more a day!
>> Stay cool in the heat!! Remain indoors as much as possible in cool air.
>> Wear light and loose fitting clothing!! Stick with light colors that can reflect the sun.
>> Protect your skin and eyes!! Wear sunglasses and sunscreen to block harmful UV rays.
>> Have Emergency Contacts!! Have a list of people to call in case of emergency.
>> Know The Side Effects of Your Medications!! Some medications can increase your risks for heat exhaustion, stroke, dizziness, lightheadedness, bruising and even make you dehydrated.
>> Exercise safely!! Exercise during the cooler parts of the day and avoid strenuous activities.
